I have to say, there are definitely much cooler shots you can get within the idea of “frame within a frame,” but I had to make due with it being the day after prom. While everybody else was holed up in their houses, most likely their beds, James and I for some reason decided to …
This week our challenge was trick photography, using props. The prop that I chose to use was a 50mm camera lens. Rather than just taking a photo of the sunset with the 18-55mm lens that I had on, I placed the front end of the 50mm lens in front of my camera. Due to the …
For this week’s challenge, we were instructed to take a staged photograph using depth of field. I do have to say, this was one of the hardest photos to think of and even in the end, I didn’t come up with the most miraculous idea. If I were to take a photo of someone shooting …
For this week, our challenge was to switch up our point. As individuals, we only see the world from our respective height. Sure, we can drive to the top of a mountain to get a higher view, but even then, we never reach the perspective that an ant or a bird for example would have. …
The Rule of Odds is essentially based upon the idea of placing an odd number of objects within the composition. As stated by Expert Photography, “When we need to process an even number of elements we tend to pair them up. This separates the whole image into pieces. But when the image is made up …

Artistically, I’m more drawn to wide angle almost minimalist compositions that give the viewer the widest possible view of what’s around a character in that moment. So to have this assigned …
For our composition post of this month, we took a center-frame portrait of someone’s face and then took it into Adobe Photoshop where we then edited the photo to both the right and left side making the photograph symmetrical. Out of all of the photo blogs I’ve done, this is definitely one of my favorites. …
Leading lines come in all shapes and sizes. And in this case, they come in the size of skittles. Until this project, I never realized all the cool shapes and figures you can make out of Skittles. Once I got going, it was hard to stop. It’s a fun little activity to do when you’re …
Rule of Odds: the rule of odds states that images are more visually appealing when there is an odd number of subjects. I agree. Am I the only one that finds odd numbers in general so much more interesting than even ones? On that note, I also feel like people’s lucky numbers are always odd, but I could be …
